Gorilla Grodd in Animal Man? F*ck yeah! I mean this is about the most interesting thing to happen since Issue 7.

I think GG’s appearance–which I think is cool–is exactly some other readers dislike this issue.

Unfortunately, there was still WAY too much hand-wringing about how the Rot is too strong, you can’t stop it….blah, blah. Just get to the damn point. The Grodd bit is going to end up being a diversion from the real “Rotworld” plot anyway.

Random…getting to see Rot-Deathstroke and Rot-Grifter and Rot-Atrocitus?–that was great.

Overall, the issue felt pretty gimmicky and still didn’t move the plot much at all. 4/4 for story and art, but barely. (The gimmicks bumped it up a bit).
